My snake is still a juvenile but I never see him come out. I've had him for more than a year now. He spends literally all time his out of sight. When handling, he seems strong & healthy. His reactions are sharp, alertness seems fine. He's usually content to just hang on my arm and doesn't move...

Hi, I have had Wraith II for about 6 months now. He is almost 9 old months and weighs 30 grams. I would like to start a growth progression thread since I haven't seen too many pictures of Blizzards on here. I will update this after every shed.

I've built a little hide full of damp moss in anticipation of my new baby's shed. He just went blue, but it doesn't seem like he's using the hide. Since my previous snake has always had shedding issues with this vivarium setup, I want to make sure the sheds go well for my new snake. Will they...

This is really alarming. I have him on the floor and he's obviously trying to move but can't. His head and neck are going in a constant S-shape trying to move forward, but its as if the lower half of his body totally unable to move on its own. The only time he can get anywhere is by wrapping his...

I would like to give you all an update on the dramatic life of Wraith, my erratic, fatty, slow-growing snow corn. After he went on a 5-month hunger strike, I got him to eat by offering a brained p/k rat pup, followed 2 weeks later by another p/k rat pup. Neither prey items created much of a...

I haven't seen this before in any of my corn's previous sheds. His skin is obviously ready to come off, it is hanging off of him in folds, and yet he won't voluntarily go into the shedding process. He's just lounging around and letting the old skin stay on him. Its been 2-3 weeks since his eyes...

I'm not sure how it happened, I was following instructions from guides about feeding adults. Maybe he should still be on hoppers. He's only getting fatter. I think my guy is such a remarkably slow grower that a feeding schedule for him is a lot different than a typical corn snake. But I've...

He's about to shed so pray that he'll eat after the shed. I've tried everything, prekilled adults, prekilled hoppers, tried 1 live hopper and ending up freeing it in the park, snake just suddenly has no interest in eating anymore and spends 100 percent of his time burrowed at the very bottom of...

I miss this place and all the drama and controversy! Lately, Wraith has been obsessed with burrowing. I cleaned his tank and put a lot of fresh aspen in there, and he has been burrowing nonstop ever since. Does this have to do with summertime? I am wondering how corn snakes change with the...

I was handling Wraith today, I see a round lump under his mouth, but it doesn't seem like a big deal because it keeps receding. Then suddenly he starts drooling all over me. A bunch of saliva came out of his mouth. Has anyone had this happen before? He seems alright, but I just made a vet...

I first saw this during his last shed. There's a small section where the scales look brownish red, and there's a strange indentation in the snake's body. I hoped this would be gone in his next shed (which happened nearly 5 weeks later), but its there. Not to mention, he had an awful time...

Has anyone had some experience with overweight snakes? Have you had success with helping a snake lose weight and return to top form? I now feed my 2 and a half year old corn a hopper or young adult every two weeks. Snake is almost 3 feet, but seems rather fat for his length. I'm also trying to...

I'm sure some of you have seen your corn pull stunts. Today I handled my snake, let him explore the desk for a while. Suddenly he falls of the edge, seemingly on purpose, and lands on the floor, perfectly intact. I think in the wild snakes regularly jump down from high branches to avoid dangero...

I've noticed this since I got him, one of his eyes tends to roll down sometimes, while the other remains straight. It gives him this funny characteristic look. Is it normal? Has anyone ever encountered this?

I've had Wraith for about 3 months by now. His first shed caught me by surprise. He's a snow corn so the eye caps are translucent, he never gets "blue" and his scales never seem any shinier or duller. During his first shed, about 2 weeks ago, I made the mistake of feeding him two live mice. It...
